Winnipeg police are calling the discovery of items in a downtown dumpster a homicide.

There was a heavy police presence on York Avenue between Smith and Donald streets throughout Monday with officers seen removing several plastic bags from a dumpster behind a high-rise residence.

Police did not release any details at the time, other than to say they were investigating "suspicious circumstances."

At a news conference on Tuesday morning, police said they are waiting to positively identify the person before more details are released.

Cst. Jason Michalyshen won't confirm or deny if body parts were found, as some media outlets had reported.

He said the police are reluctant to release details "due to sensitivity of what we're dealing with" and the need to contact family members of the person.

He also didn't say how long the person is believed to have been dead.

Michalyshen acknowledged that residents in the area are on edge, but said there is no information to suggest any other members of the public are unsafe.

It is the city's fifth homicide of the year and fourth in February.

Homicide victim found at vacant Everett house

EVERETT -- Police on Wednesday were canvassing the View Ridge-Madison neighborhood in Everett after a man was found dead there the night before. A neighbor spotted the man on the ground outside a vacant house at 22 Madison St. He called 911 about 6:20 p.m. The man had obvious signs of trauma to his torso, police said. He looked to be in his late 20s or early 30s. The Everett Major Crimes Unit is investigating the death as a homicide, Lt. Robert Goetz said. Detectives declined to say more about how they believe the man may have died. There are no identified suspects or motives. Detectives received a search warrant around 11:45 p.m. Tuesday and collected evidence at the scene. They returned Wednesday afternoon to look for clues in the daylight, Goetz said. The victim's identity had not been determined as of late Wednesday afternoon. The body was turned over to the Snohomish County Medical Examiner's Office. Anyone with information is asked to call 425-257-8450. Rikki King: 425-

Manslaughter charges possible in boy's death

Published: Thursday, August 23, 2012, 5:55 p.m. MONROE -- Detectives believe a 7-year-old Monroe boy's parents should face second-degree manslaughter charges in connection with his January overdose death. Monroe police this week wrapped up their probe into the boy's Jan. 30 death and forwarded the case to prosecutors to decide if his parents should face criminal charges. Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Lisa Paul likely will begin reviewing the case in the coming days. She doesn't expect to make a charging decision in the near future, however. "It's quite an extensive investigation, and I want to review it thoroughly before I make any decision," she said. The boy, identified as "A.J." in court papers, ingested a lethal amount of salicylates, a chemical common in aspirin and other over-the-counter drugs. The medical examiner declined to conduct an autopsy on the boy, making it difficult to determine how the drug ended up in the boy's system. A
